His "crime" was holding an Israeli flag.
He, and his killer, are the reason I stand with Israel.

Awful hate crime in Los Angeles: Local law enforcement confirmed late Monday that a Jewish man died as a result of a head injury after being assaulted by a pro-Palestinian protester with a megaphone.

JRR Tolkien covered much the same growing in his essay 'On Fairy Stories', with slightly different results. It should be suitable to children, but childlike is not stupid.
“If a fairy-story as a kind is worth reading at all it is worthy to be written for and read by adults”

Credit to this lad for getting back on his feet and carrying on. And to those who beat him up... we live in a democracy. If you don't like that, find yourself somewhere else to live.
Back on the campaign trail, and this has to be one of the funniest streets in Makerfield.
You’ve got Reform signs and Restore signs back-to-back all the way down the road. We’re in a working-class area, and it really captures the heart of this by-election.
In places like this, it feels like a genuine neck-and-neck contest between Restore and Reform.

Gender studies teachers play a vital role in preparing students to become future gender studies teachers. Without gender studies teachers there would be no gender studies teachers, and then we'd have no gender studies teachers, to teach gender studies.

Same. One of the best buys of my life was finding this discounted video down the town, and giving it a whirl ❤️
I love this masterpiece by Derek Jarman (RIP). The Queen is Dead by Derek Jarman!

I think Gareth's fix-list for Doctor Who is spot on, but there's one in particular which I think should be painted in big letters across the surface of the moon...

A reminder from 2023 of why Palestine Action is a terrorist group.
This is a Welsh company making circuit boards for MRI scanners.
P.A. terrorized staff, released toxic chemicals putting lives at risk, and forced a neighboring school to be locked down.

Whether you enjoy football or not, the ITV setting with the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty as a real-life backdrop is jaw-droppingly beautiful, and a big win for the commercial channel.

BBC have very good presenters and pundits but are inevitably getting heat for their World Cup Salford studio setting. One way to make their shows feel more connected with the tournament is simple: they have good reporters and production teams out here on the ground in Kansas City covering England. Give them more air-time, making the show feel less distant from the action, and bringing more detail and up-to-date info and insight into the Salford debate.
Also, BBC are very successful in their “clips” strategy but it is still strange that there isn’t a morning highlights show of the late-night/overnight World Cup action. BBC have very good staff who could easily do it. It's possible to enjoy clips *and* want a more reflective highlights programme. #FIFAWorldCup

Another thing about the ITV/BBC World Cup coverage - I'm 50, and I can't EVER recall them promoting each other's programmes. I guess they've realised there are bigger threats, and there's safety in numbers

As this post says, one of the best songs of the 80s peaked at number nine. In that context you start to understand why the Smiths and the Cure never got close to the top

Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon (TOTP 1984)
The Middle-Eastern-tinged instrumentation was inspired by bassist Les Patterson and guitarist Will Sergeant's trip to Russia. With Ian McCullough (co-writer) on lead vocals, the song became one of their biggest hits: #9 UK.

I'm guessing Spain just played tippy-tappy in their own half and lost track of time 🤷♂️

Roger Lewis on how Diana Dors & Elizabeth Taylor are similar and different in Erotic Vagrancy. It’s currently just £3.99 for Kindle & there’s nothing more entertaining you could buy for that money.

RIP Roger Cook. Had some of the biggest balls on TV; confronted some right wrong ‘uns and often got a whack for his troubles. This clip defines his style…

I just love this.
I love the professionalism & commitment of the dancers.
I love their determination to carry on through the most tragic moment of the dance.
But we all know everyone is watching the cat…🤣🤣🤣

Someone asked Chris what he thought about the recent Doctor Who news and he said he really hopes the BBC is able to sort something out soon because he thinks Doctor Who is so important

Because I'm ancient, I asked my young teenagers if they thought youngsters would get around the social media ban. Here's what one said, verbatim.
'Abso-freaking-lutely...it will be like Jurassic Park. Nature will find a way.'

The puppet was a joy, ejecting great streams spit every time he talked. That the real Roy Hattersley was such a good sport about this was as good a tribute to the man as any.
